Re: Architecture independent package

ok, I can run hime now. but big problem.....

This is what I did .
1. apt-get download

2. dpkg -i
3. dpkg --configure --force-all

--------------------

apt-get download hime:i386 hime-data
dpkg -i hime_0.9.10-5_i386.deb --ignore-depends=hime-data   <------ignore-depends option look like no effect.
apt-get -f install      <----- installed some depends
dpkg -i hime-data_0.9.10-5_all.deb
aptitude -f install hime-qt4-immodule:i386 hime-chewing:i386     <--- can't install , but i know which package in depend.

apt-get download hime-chewing:i386 hime-qt4-immodule:i386 libchewing3:i386 libchewing3-data
dpkg -i hime-chewing_0.9.10-5_i386.deb hime-qt4-immodule_0.9.10-5_i386.deb libchewing3_0.4.0-2_i386.deb libchewing3-data_0.4.0-2_all.deb
dpkg --configure --force-all hime hime-chewing hime-qt4-immodule

------------------

now I can use hime in skype also. but apt have porblem :

It want remove hime:i386 all time because no hime-data:i386.....

So I can't install another package .....

And I guess system has another problem, Because when I login with hime:amd64 , I don't need set ~/.xinitrc ( I use Enlightenment ). But now I must set it, hime can't automatic set it. ( Maybe in /etc/alternatives/xinput-zh_TW )

Thanks your reply.

I know "architecture-independent means this package contains only files
which are readable on any arch."

But apt disallow install.

$ apt-cache depends hime:i386
hime:i386
Depends: libc6:i386
Depends: libcairo2:i386
Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386

Conflicts: hime

The <pkg> is show "unavailable" in aptitude.

And when I use # aptitude install hime:i386
It will display :
"Depends: hime-data:i386 which is a virtual package."

I tried follow this page :
http://serverfault.com/questions/250224/how-do-i-get-apt-get-to-ignore-some-dependencies
But the problem is depend on hime-data:i386 , not depend on hime-data.
So I don't know how to ignore it......

I think it's a apt bug . what do you think ?
And , any ideal for solve ?

Thanks.

According to packages.debian.org, hime-qt4-immodule (0.9.10-5) depends
on hime (>= 0.9.10.5), which depends on hime-data.

Note that neither of those dependencies specifies an architecture. This
means that any compatible architecture can provide a solution. hime-data
is marked as "arch:all", which means that it can be installed on all
architectures (it is architecture independant).

Therefore, hime-data (arch:all) will satisfy the requirement for
hime-data to an i386 package as well as an amd64 package and so on.
